FLAMMABLE VAPOURS

•  Do not try to light the burner manually. It is equipped with 

an electronic ignition device which automatically lights 
the burner. 

•  Open the main gas supply valve to the unit using only 

your hand to avoid any spark. Never use tools. If the knob 
will not turn by hand do not try to force it, call a qualified 
service technician. Forcing the valve may result in fire or 
explosion due to gas leaks.

Please refer to the User Manual supplied with the gas 
continuous flow hot water system for more specific safety and 
operating instructions.

Ensure the following safety instructions are read and 
understood before using this hot water system.

warning

Water temperatures above 50°C can cause severe burns, 
scalding or death. Feel the water temperature before 
bathing or showering. Do not leave children unsupervised. 
Under AS/NZS 3500 the temperature of the hot water 
being delivered must not exceed 50°C at any outlets used 
primarily for purposes of personal hygiene. To comply with 
these standards, a tempering valve must be fitted to the 
hot water system.

warning

•  For continued safety of this appliance it must be installed, 

operated and maintained in accordance with the 
manufacturers instructions.

•  This appliance is not intended for use by persons 

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory 
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and 
knowledge unless they have been given supervision 
or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a 
person responsible for their safety. Children should be 
supervised to ensure that they do not play with  
the appliance.

•  Do not use this hot water system if it has at any stage 

been immersed in water. Immediately call a licensed 
plumber, gas fitter or authorised technician to inspect 
and/or service the system.

•  Do not disconnect the electrical supply if the ambient 

temperature drops below freezing. The Freeze Protection 
System only works when the hot water system is 
connected to the power.

•  In order to avoid electric shock, fire or injury, if any 

abnormality is detected, such as the smell of smoke 
coming from the hot water system, isolate the power at 
the main switchboard then contact your local Electrolux 
Customer Care Centre.

•  Never use a flammable spray such as hair spray or lacquer 

paint near the hot water system as it may cause a fire.

•  The operation of the thermal cut-out on the hot water 

storage tank indicates a possibly dangerous situation 
(electric boosted installations only). Do not reset the 
thermal cut-out until the hot water system has been 
serviced by a qualified person.

 

caution

•  Do not use this hot water system for any other purposes.
•  Do not place items which may be damaged by moisture 

around the hot water system or near the drain outlets.

•  Water may drip from the discharge pipe of the 

pressure relief valve. This pipe must be left open to the 
atmosphere at all times.

•  The pressure relief device is to be operated regularly to 

remove lime deposits and verify that it is not blocked.
